A patch of formal green broken by the
Wide walk to never-to-be-forgotten friendships,-
Tall, white columns.
Strong, serving, stately, symbolic
Of growing youth pointing upward
To serve God and man.
Crowded halls, seething with
Bits of humanity, learning, living ;
Large windows, framing welcomed
Views of trees, sky and the mountains,-
Organizations forming the nucleus of
Our school life, giving
Friendship, companionship, fellowship,-
Of all these Salem High School is,
Upon all these we frame our book.

We who stand loyal to our old
Al ma Mater
Dedicate this volume, as we lool< to
the dawn of to-morrow,
To the successful future of our
old institution
In
its new edifice to be built
this year.

Class Poem
Out into the world we'll go,
Some in all directions;
But Salem High will always stand
Supreme in our affections.
Some of us will seek renown,
Some will strive to serve ;
All will win by faithful toit
The honors they deserve.
We'll never cease to work
'Till we've attained success;
And all the world will thankful be
For dear old S. II. S.
Evelyn Board, Class Poet
■4 8 )>
A wonderful school is ours,
Its dear old walls we love,
Its happy memories we'll cherish
When through the world we rove.
A wonderful class is ours,
The class of ’32;
Four years we've worked together,
And now our task is through.
We've often looked toward this day,
A nd wished that it were near;
But now we all feel strangely sad —
We realize it's here.

during his presence. We know that he will make the
same reputation in college that he has in high school.
Luck to you, Emmett !
Hi-Y Club ’31 -’32.
Katherine Shirley Andrews
Kitty’s laugh and versatile nature are con¬
tagious. She is the originator and leader of our most
spirited escapades, yet she is a thorough sport and
the best pal ever. Even if she is a big talker, she has
talked her way into our hearts and we all love her.

One could not know Florence and not like her.
Her big blue-gray eyes are truly “the windows of

next fall where she will specialize in commercial
studies. Luck to you, Florence.

Douglas end up in the diplomatic service some day,
from the interest he has shown in Civics class. Go

backing you up.

James L. Bostwick
“Jim” is one of our Seniors who got here just in
time to graduate. He has the ability to make
splendid grades and then he has more time to keep
us giggling. We wish him all the success in the world
and we also wish that we had known him earlier
that we might have loved him longer.
Charlie A. Boxley
Charlie, our one and only. Smiles, personality
and jokes; they’re Charlie’s traits. He’s a true
friend at all times and we are sure with these
characteristics he will soon have a “Rebecca” for
his “Sunnybrook Farm.” Best o’ luck, Charlie!

Helen, a quiet, unassuming Senior, is not merely
just another classmate but is a sweet, ever-helping

most accomplished piano pupils. We all hope that
he will be as successful in his “music world” as he
has been at Salem High.
Ruth Brewer
Ruth, if laughing makes you fat, beware!! Be¬
cause a new diet will have to be invented for you. If
you have the blues Ruth will chase them away by
that contagious little giggle of hers. Remember us,
Ruth, and we’ll do the same for you.

Garland is one of our “transporters.” With his
ready knowledge of mechanics he makes an in¬
valuable assistant in the carrying of Senior hikers
back and forth to their destinations. May you
succeed in other things as well as you have with your
school.
Ellen MacDonald Burke
The merry twinkle in Ellen’s brown eyes, that
immediately attract us to her, is just her good nature
peeping through. So loyal and capable is she, it will
be hard to find another able to fill her place at
Salem Hi.

yet, but we do know that Earl is the ideal school¬

friends, and we know that he will continue doing so.

Richard Edward Miller
Yes, this one is Richard, you really can’t tell our
twins apart. They are as nearly alike in their
abundant ability as in their looks, too. With such
an excellent high school record, we feel that life

that he receives as much as he deserves.

Leo is distinctly of the type seen, not heard, but

Class History
It seems to us that our four years of high school life could be very fittingly rep¬
resented by colors. Upon working this thought out it falls into the following plan.
Green for the Freshman year. The greenest green imaginable. Poor little scared
rats scattling here and there; blundering into Senior Classes and being razzed;
ducking the merciless torments poured upon us by Sophomores and Juniors; asking
questions and receiving misleading answers. Oh! could anyone have been as green
as we ?!
Next comes our Sophomore year-royal blue. The blue of lords and kings; the
blue of princes and rulers; and most of all, the blue with which to welcome royalty.
For our new principal, Mr. House, was certainly that! What overbearing, piggish
little upstarts we must have been, justly deserving the name “Sophomore!” But it
was a feeling never again to be encountered, and we are glad we experienced it.
Then too, we must not forget a slightly deeper shade of blue, a mourning shade
with which we felt the loss of one of our dearest friends, Ruth Stoutamire.
Red for Juniors; the red of courage; the red of the conquerer; and even more the
orange-red tints of fire. We were filled with determination and purpose. We must
go to the heights, and we must work to get our start. Then came the awful fire
which partly destroyed our school building. Will we ever forget the leaping red
flames against the cold, wintery night sky, or the crowded days following, when we
went to school without a school; the many tardies and excuses. O, what a year!
For our Senior year, it is fitting to use our school colors, blue and white. The
blue for sincerity and loyalty and the white for purity of purpose and character.
We feel that even though we are not able to reach the top, we have our place, and
our duty is to fill that place to the best of our ability. We know too, that if we are
to do our best, we must keep pure in mind, body, and spirit and towards this end
we will strive, since it and whatever goal we have are one.

Class History
On September 14, 1930, a memorable day for all of us, some two hundred odd,
distracted and forlorn, bipeds of different degrees of greenness burst through the
wide flung doors of Salem High, not only ready but eager to demonstrate our
ability to run both the school and the universe. Alas! we had reckoned without
consideration of that menacing host, the Sophomores. The memory of the “per¬
formances” demanded of us poor little harmless rats lingers with us still. That year
was a perpetual surprise party. Those heartless assignments! We made history, we
multiplied heartaches, we dissected our self-importance, translated our laughter
into tears and declined all that made life worth while. Sadder but wiser we survived
the struggle.
At last we were Sophomores! The history of that year was unique and varied.
We owned the earth. Education? Why seek it? We represented the sum total of
all the knowledge of the ages, of all the tribes and nations of the civilized world.
And still the wonder grew that our small heads could carry all we knew. We must
not forget the varied impressions we made upon the unfortunate rats — vengeance
is sweet. All went well until final exams. Then our vaunted knowledge vanished
and many found a Waterloo. If only those terrible exams could be relegated to
that barbarous past from which they came.
In this year, also, our school building burned. Our school board was equal to
the occasion, however, and arrangements were promptly made for us to hold classes
in the various churches and other available places throughout the town. During
the spring and summer our high school was rebuilt and was ready for us in Sep¬
tember.
Stop, look and listen! Now we are Juniors! Many of our comrades have fallen
by the wayside, some the victims of cupid’s arrow, some slain in Caesars battles,
some asphyxiated with indolence, some to whom present comfort outweighs future
attainments, and some whose horizon had not broadened as they climbed. But our
broken ranks represent many, who are making records in classes and other school
activities which reflect credit upon them and old Salem High.
Oh! proudly now we hail the class of mighty fame,
A class fo dear to every heart which bears its name,
Oh! let us pledge in loving words and noble deeds
The love that far and wide our eager lives shall speed
While here within our Alma Mater's sacred walls
Full many a cheer shall ring for “ Junior" through her halls.

Class Poem
We Juniors in the class
Of nineteen-thirty-two ,
As tortured rats and haughty Sophs
Have labored two years through.
And ?iow we proudly tell you
How happy and glad we are
The rank next highest in ole “Hi”
To the brilliant Se-ni-ors.
We'll try to keep our spirit
Which has been our loadstar
And make distinguished Seniors
Of the zealous Juniors we are.
We'll always try to be loyal ,
To be faithf ul, and ever true
To our emblems , our glowing colors
The white and royal blue.
And we'll do our best to add
More honor and lasting fame
In our remaining year
To ole Salem's peerless name.

Class Poet

Class Poem
When It’s Past
The sun has past o' er the western verge
And there illumes before our eyes the great phantasmagoria ,
The wrathful image of what might have been
Perchance that If were was.
Then we look as through a glass
Darkened by darting dwarfs dancing to and fro
Burdened with the weight of the enormozis uncompleted
And behold what life may be able to afford us.
Anon , we snatch a puny artificial light
And proceed to batter down the bulk of the past ,
The great spectrum is faded away
And our souls cannot identify the pathzvay into eternal bliss.

Class Poet

Football
Coach Denton’s 1931 football team may well go down in the school’s history as
one of the scrappiest ever to represent our institution. Some evidence of this is
given by the fact that in only two games of the season was it beaten by more than
one touchdown. Although the team, as a whole, lacked weight and experience, it
made a worthy name for itself in conference circles as a hard, clean-fighting team.
One of the high lights of the entire season was the game with Maury High at
Norfolk. While outweighed to a man, in some cases as -much as twenty pounds,
the Salem team played great defensive ball and held Maury scoreless till the final
minutes of the game. Against Jefferson the Salem team played in a fine game but
were repulsed by the famous “ Jefferson Jinx,” this time in the form of Father Time.
When only a few yards away from the tying score, the game ended. The most
thrilling contest from the spectator’s point of view was the game with Danville.
Trailing in the final minute, 6-0 the Wolverines scored, only to have the ball called
back. Undaunted, Short, Salem quarter, tossed a pass to Woodson to tie the score
just as the game ended.
Prospects for the next year’s team seem particularly bright as there will be
nearly all of the seconds and several of the first team back. Short, Freshman
quarter back, looks good for coming seasons, and Saul and Eades should be ready
by next season. In the line there will be Mowles, Philpott, Tyler and Brown from
this year’s team and Slough, Via, Altizer and Stevenson ready to fill any vacancy.
Burke, back from Greenbriar, may get the guard post left by the graduation of
Fisher.
Although not a successful team in regard to games won, Salem placed J. Cross¬
white on the All-State, at end while Brown, at guard, received honorable mention.

Basket Ball
The 1932 basket ball season, although not what might be called a successful one, had several features
and bright spots outstanding in the losses sustained by the team. Forced to depend upon the generosity
of Roanoke College for a practice as well as a playing floor, lacking any real student support and play¬
ing away from home a large portion of the time, the team could hardly be expected to be a winning one.
A high spot of the entire season was the Wolverine’s conquest of Jefferson High’s Magicians on their
own court early in the season. That night the whole team played inspired ball, their best performance
of the year, and seemingly smothered all attacks with ease. The final score was 22-12. This was the
first time in several seasons that any Salem basket ball team had accomplished such a thing, either on
their own or Jefferson’s court. During several other games the team showed flashes of splendid form
but never again did their efforts reach such a peak.
Crosswhite and Maury, along with some reserves will be lost by graduation but they will leave
behind them Robertson, a first class center who may return, Martin, a center and forward and Brown,
a very dependable guard. Barnett, Altizer and two or three others of this year’s reserves should be fine
material for next year’s team. Our new playing floor should be complete in time for the 1933 basket
ball season and it is hoped that with its advent some of the old “Hi School Spirit” and loyal student
support will return.
